Sanford police are searching for two men who tied up and robbed the security guard at a downtown truck dealership Wednesday night.

William F. Crowell, 67, who lives in a mobile home parked at Truck World, 317 W. 1st St., said a man knocked on his door shortly before midnight and asked for help. When Crowell responded, a second man grabbed the door, allowing the two men to rush inside and knock Crowell down. The men stole $205 worth of his belongings, including a watch, Capt. Herb Shea said.

Before leaving, the men used a bedsheet to tie Crowell's hands but he freed himself and called police just as the men left, Shea said. Crowell was not hurt, he added.
